RE: Marketing email - VENT

[John Posada <JPosada -at- book -dot- com>]

It depends...why are you doing it?

It is constructive input or a poke for your ego and satisfaction.

I guess what kind of input you send him is whether you respect him and what
he stands for, or consider him "smarmy" simply because he's
marketing-oriented.

Would I really spend the afterlife chased by a guy in a little red suit
poking me with a pitchfork if I chose to return an *edited* email to the
salesdood that sent it to me considering that part of this company's market
is techinical writers?
